After a number of data points emerged that are negative for DraftKings (NASDAQ:DKNG) stock, I remain bearish on the shares. DraftKings’ Q1 bottom line was quite worrisome, while its valuation is sky-high. In several past columns, my thesis has been that the U.S. sports gambling market would be hyper-competitive.

If any company has been testing the patience of its investors, it’s TPG Pace Beneficial Finance (NYSE:TPGY).
